Finite Element Analysis of Weld Thermal Cycles Using ANSYS aims at educating a young researcher on the transient analysis of welding thermal cycles using ANSYS. It essentially deals with the methods of calculation of the arc heat in a welded component when the analysis is simplified into either a cross sectional analysis or an in-plane analysis. The book covers five different cases involving different welding processes, component geometry, size of the element and dissimilar material properties. A detailed step by step calculation is presented followed by APDL program listing and output charts from ANSYS. Features: Provides useful background information on welding processes, thermal cycles and finite element method Presents calculation procedure for determining the arc heat input in a cross sectional analysis and an in-plane analysis Enables visualization of the arc heat in a FEM model for various positions of the arc Discusses analysis of advanced cases like dissimilar welding and circumferential welding Includes step by step procedure for running the analysis with typical input APDL program listing and output charts from ANSYS.

Numerical Simulation - from Theory to Industry is the edited book containing 25 chapters and divided into four parts. Part 1 is devoted to the background and novel advances of numerical simulation; second part contains simulation applications in the macro- and micro-electrodynamics. Part 3 includes contributions related to fluid dynamics in the natural environment and scientific applications; the last, fourth part is dedicated to simulation in the industrial areas, such as power engineering, metallurgy and building. Recent numerical techniques, as well as software the most accurate and advanced in treating the physical phenomena, are applied in order to explain the investigated processes in terms of numbers. Since the numerical simulation plays a key role in both theoretical and industrial research, this book related to simulation of many physical processes, will be useful for the pure research scientists, applied mathematicians, industrial engineers, and post-graduate students.

Failure of welded components can occur during service as well as during fabrication. Most common, analyses of the resistance of welded components against failure are targeted at crack avoidance. Such evaluations are increasingly carried out by modern weldability studies, i. e. considering interactions between the selected base and filler materials, structural design and welding process. Such weldability investigations are particularly targeted to prevent hot cracking, as one of the most common cracking phenomena occurring during weld fabrication. To provide an international information and discussion platform to combat hot cracking, an international workshop on Hot Cracking Phenomena in Welds has been created, based on an initiative of the Institute for Materials and Joining Technology at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg and the Division V. 5 – Safety of Joined Components at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin, Germany. The first workshop was organized in Berlin under the topics mechanisms and phenomena, metallurgy and materials, modelling and simulations as well as testing and standardization. It consisted of 20 individual contributions from eight countries, which were compiled in a book that found a very ready market, not only in the welding community. As a consequence of increasing interest, it has been decided to establish the Workshop on Hot Cracking Phenomena in Welds as a regular event every three years embedded in the International Institute of Welding (IIW). Attached to the IIW Commission IX and II Spring intermediate meetings, the second workshop was organized in March 2007.

Aluminium is a soft, light metal with a dull silvery-white colour. It is the second most abundant element. Aluminium's lightweight and corrosion resistance made it a vital metal in the 19th century. It is the second most malleable and sixth most ductile element after gold. It is three times lighter than steel and is three times stronger than steel. Tm-660°C and has a lower density (2.7g/cm3). In annealed form, pure aluminium has a tensile strength of 40-50 MPa. It is strengthened by alloying, cold working, and heat treatment. The joining of aluminium alloys presents many challenges due to a tenacious oxide layer, high thermal conductivity, high Coefficient of thermal expansion, and solidification defects [1]. Aluminium is alloyed with many other elements to improve its strength and corrosion resistance. Many difficult-to-weld aluminium alloys can be defect-free and mechanically sound using FSW [2]. Their numerous benefits make aluminium alloys widely used in vehicle and building structural applications. Aluminium and its alloys have various capabilities and applications, making them the material of choice for many products and markets. Their low density, appearance, strength, and fabricability make them appealing. They have wrought alloys or cast alloys. Wrought alloys are designated as 1xxx-pure aluminium, 2xxx-Al-Cu alloys, 3xxx-Al-Mn alloys, 4xxx-Al-Si alloys, 5xxx-Al-Mg alloys, 6xxx-Al-Mg-Si alloys, 7xxx-Al-Zn alloys, and 8xxx-Al-Tin-Li, where the first digit denotes principal alloying. These alloys are classified in to two types-one is heat-treatable(2xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, and some of the 8xxx alloys) and another one is non-heat treatable (ASTM Handbook 1985) [3]. 6xxx series are wrought aluminium alloys with Si and Mg. They are heat treatable and corrosion-resistant. They naturally weld due to their high strength to weight ratio. The 6xxx series accounts for roughly 80% of global aluminium extrusion [4]. AA6063 is popular for its formability, medium strength, and high corrosion resistance. AA6063 is a heat treatable magnesium silicide. AA6063 is used for extrusions and irrigation pipes [5].
